The Centre provides technical services to SMEs across Canada, including formulation, shelf-life testing, regulatory compliance, small-batch processing, and sensory analysis. Since its inception, FBIC has supported hundreds of companies in commercializing innovative food and beverage products. It also offers valuable work-integrated learning opportunities for students in culinary innovation, food science, and biotechnology programs.<\/p>\n<p>BCIC was launched to meet the growing demand for business-focused innovation services that assist SMEs in translating ideas into viable products through feasibility studies, including pricing distribution and promotional planning, as well as branding, product photography, and videography.

Particularly, recognizing the realities of the world and striving to make it better, through engagement and collaboration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Lessons in responsible tourism<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>During a virtual guest lecture on November 28, Andreasen shared her passion for regenerative tourism and emphasized her thoughtful and responsible approach to the field, which she has been dedicated to for more than 16 years across the Faroe Islands and the broader Nordic region.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1609874\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1609874\" class=\" wp-image-1609874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-300x150.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"672\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-300x150.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-768x384.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-800x400.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-640x320.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-400x200.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture-180x90.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-2_GoLocal_guest-lecture.webp 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1609874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">During a virtual guest lecture, entrepreneur Oda Andreasen shared her insights and passion for regenerative tourism in the Faroe Islands.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>With in-depth knowledge of the island&#8217;s history, geology and local legends, Andreasen provides rich and educational experiences as a local guide on Mykines, a small, remote island in the Faroe Islands known for its dramatic landscapes and unique natural environment. She offers small-group tours of no more than eight guests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My message to students was to always think about animal life and nature first, as they cannot speak for themselves,&#8221; said Andreasen. &#8220;It is also crucial to involve local communities and ensure they benefit both financially and culturally from tourism by supporting local food, guides and artisans, and engaging more deeply with local culture. I have worked in tourism on Mykines since before it became a well-known destination, and my goal is to make sure it never loses what makes it special.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on her first online experience engaging with students, Andreasen said that reaching them across the Atlantic carried meaning beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Personally, I am happy to have shared my story with the next generation and hope it has made a difference and inspired them to think in a regenerative way in the future,&#8221; said Andreasen. &#8220;I am very impressed with the NC students&#8217; work and their thoughtful advice on how to promote my regenerative focus and sustainability. It really made me feel that my efforts were worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Student experience<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For the students, the experience was a unique opportunity to apply classroom learning in a real-world setting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Working on the GoLocal project allowed me to put the concepts we have studied into practice, which helped me better understand the challenges and strategies involved in global tourism,&#8221; said Juan Pena. &#8220;Learning about how waste is managed in remote locations, how to interact with local people, and how to educate tourists so they do not cause any environmental damage, was very helpful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Their reflections also highlighted the personal and professional growth they gained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the beginning of the project, it felt quite challenging, especially knowing that our work would be presented to an external audience and could potentially contribute to Go Local,&#8221; said Christian Sun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the project progressed, I was able to shift that initial pressure into motivation, pushing myself to grow. Andreasen&#8217;s strong vision for sustainability and her dedication to integrating it into her business were truly inspiring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The complexity of the tourism industry also emerged as a key insight from students&#8217; reflections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I gained insight into what professionals in the tourism industry prioritize and how they make decisions,&#8221; said Tzu-Le Chiang. &#8220;The real world is more complex than we initially thought, with many factors to consider and rules to follow. I really admire Andreasen&#8217;s passion and dedication in building GoLocal and working toward her goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The success of this initiative reflects NC&#8217;s commitment to enabling students to experience culturally diverse learning environments, gain global perspectives, and develop practical skills, preparing world-ready and work-ready graduates.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a faculty member interested in working on establishing a global classroom learning opportunity for your students, reach out to Maxine Semple, Director, Cultural and Global Engagement, at <a href=\"mailto:msemple@niagaracollege.ca\">msemple@niagaracollege.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1609875\" style=\"width: 688px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1609875\" class=\" wp-image-1609875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-300x169.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-640x360.webp 640w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-400x225.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students-180x101.webp 180w, https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/insidenc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2026\/05\/Photo-3_GoLocal_BBAH-students.webp 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1609875\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (Hospitality) students supported the incorporation of UN SDGs into the partner&#8217;s marketing strategies.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Niagara College students gained a global perspective on sustainable tourism over the fall and winter terms through hands-on learning experiences that connected the classroom with industry expertise from across the Atlantic.
